"Currentzis reminds us that this is, first and foremost, an opera about desire, and offers us something at once sexier and more probingly tragic. MusicAeterna's playing doesn't have the OAE's refinement, but is infinitely warmer in sound and far more energetically committed. Dido - a soprano here, rather than the usual mezzo - is the remarkable Simone Kermes, whose subtly inflected singing exposes disquieting emotional extremes. There's a palpable erotic charge between her and Dimitris Taliakos's moody Aeneas, so that we understand completely why Dido's world becomes meaningless without him." The Guardian, 13th February 2009
